Everyone expected an exciting game and it crumbled, first by the notice that it would be played at closed doors as a preventive measure against COVID-19 and second because Leon was much better than UNAM. But much, much better.
Leon walked to beat Pumas and came out with a 3-1 win that was short in goals from Leon. The Fiera failed once and again even a penalty kick and at least 5 other clear opportunities to score were missed. They should pay attention, it is not like you can always do that and it is something that players should refine.
But the truth is that the Emerald turned on again the magnet between their boots and the ball. It was a dance.
Ambriz repeated the 11 that also won in Ciudad Juarez and with this team he ratified the role of the team as a candidate for the League Mx title.
Cota in the goal line, a defensive line formed by Navarro, Barreiro, Nacho Gonzalez and Tesillo. A midfield by Aquino and Luis Montes, on the sidelines Yairo and Meneses, while in the front were Mena and Armando Leon.
Nacho Ambriz liked this team and it was the same he used in his previous game a week ago.
Leon and Pumas came to this duel as two of the leader teams in the general charts. The Emerald behaved as such and the universitarians were not even a shadow of that.
Pumas was not even the shadow of the team that in this same tournament has won four times.
After scoring his eighth goal of the tournament, Angel Mena had a big error as he kicked the penalty and then he failed once and again to the visiting team.
It is clear that the Ecuadoran was a key player in the game, he moved the ball pretty well and he pushed the game to the front, but he could have increased his goal score much more. He knows it.
The good news is that Ambriz seems to have elements in the field and in the bench that seem to be recovering some color again.
Pedro Aquino is solid in the contention, finally. Nacho Gonzalez is playing good with Barreiro and Tesillo; while Joel Campbell reappeared as a good response and we know that Ismael Sosa can be a guarantee of a goal.
We hope the hit in the knee of Fernando Navarro is not serious and that he can go back to play again to give continuity to team Leon that comes to a new day as the leader in the charts and very close now of the big party.
After 10 games in the Closing 2020, we see again the same movie, with a scene director like Ambriz, being the main characters and candidates to the best performance and other nominations that increase their quality. We should wait and see if the end of this movie can have a happy ending.
